Tranquility and picturesque views

We enjoyed the cabin very much. We loved the historical charm with modern amenities. We loved going on the walks with kids and our dogs. dogs loved it too. We enjoyed the fireplace and the fire pit. The cabin is about an hour drive to Snowshoe skiing and about the same distance to Charlottesville, which is nice city to visit (Jefferson’s Monticello is near by) so the location is good for us as you can explore things around within an hour or less of driving. Kathy and George are wonderful hosts and were quick to respond to any of our inquiries. We definitely will book again!

Hard to find a better cabin

Need a mental reset? This is the place to come. It is so peaceful here. George & Kathy are wonderful hosts and have made the cabin very cozy. Perfectly decorated. My wife and I loved hearing the rain patter on the metal roof and seeing the deer bedded out back in the morning. It's just a wonderful place to clear your head from the fast paced modern world. I would recommend taking a little drive around the area. Highland County offers some stunning views. While out, grab a bite to eat at a local joint in Monterey call High's Restaurant. All in all, Hogshead Cabin is a getaway that won't disappoint.
